[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16223539, member: 105608"] Automatics inherently build up heat more than a manual due to their design. Advances in cooling is leveling the playfield though. A DCT is not an automatic transmission, there is no torque converter. Technology has come a long way and it's probably possible to use an auto to endurance race with. If you have a colong problem with an auto though, you're done. Once the fluid gets even a little bit, the clutches let go, that's it. Manuals are more tolerant to heat, are lighter, (sometimes) eat less power, and are cheaper to maintain. And at the end of it all, they're just more engaging to use. A Prius and a GT 500 will make it to the grocery store but only one will put an smile on your face doing it. [/QUOTE]
